It does not include installing, removing, altering, or certifying. For example, it does not include any installation work (such as installing a new or replacement device) or carrying out gas work that changes the design, layout, or operating parameters of a gas system.

Gas work under this type of licence may include:
•  Inspecting, cleaning, adjusting and tightening fittings of the gas device

One of the requirements of progressing Gas Work Licence restricted to service is the 20hrs of practical experience over a minimum of 5 different jobs – practical experience declaration or gas log book time, of which all hours maybe completed in a simulated environment.

Bizmatrix offers our students the 20 hrs PED simulated and actual compliance work -gas logbook experience, which is required to be separate from the course institutional training.

The Gas Work Licence – Restricted to Service is for those wanting to obtain a restricted gas licence.

Note: This GWL (Restricted to service) is based on the application for the QLD licence – only certain states across Australia recognise this licence. The ACT and NT will recognise either the QLD GWL (restricted to service) or the qualification and in states that do not have an equivalent Gas service Licence system like SA,WA, TAS and VIC they may or may not recognise. In states where there is no requirement to hold a gas service licence for service, we recommend that you have formal training and obtain the Gas Work Licence to prove competence and to understand your safe work obligations as covered by the WHS Act and various other ACTS and regulations.
